In 1972, with the restoration of international diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the relationship between China and Japan has also been slightly eased, and after several years of diplomacy, China and Japan have also begun to cooperate in trade. Gradually eased the international contradiction between China and Japan. On November 24, 1983, out of the concept of friendly coexistence between China and Japan, Japan planned to exhibit the Chinese Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses on this day, the 400th anniversary of the founding of Osaka, Japan. Based on the friendly exchanges between China and Japan, the Japanese government deliberately applied to the Chinese government in advance, intending to exhibit the Chinese Qin terracotta warriors and horses in Japan to ease the embarrassment between the two countries.
However, although the idea is very good and the concept is in place, I thought that this event would gradually deepen the friendly relations between China and Japan, but the surprise still came! The terracotta warriors and horses exhibited in Osaka, Japan were deliberately broken , and still in full view, the Japanese man directly smashed the exhibited glass and destroyed the Qin terracotta warriors and horses. And because the terracotta warriors and horses are pottery, the smashed terracotta warriors and horses collapsed directly and broke to the ground!
In addition, the Japanese clamored arrogantly: Why should Chinese cultural relics be exhibited in Japan, take you back to China! Just when he was planning to go to another terracotta warrior to commit violence, the staff immediately came out to stop him, and immediately removed the person from the exhibition hall. This made the Japanese government that planned to reconcile China and Japan suddenly confused. It was a very happy thing, but it caused such a result, which caused the relations between China and Japan to become tense again.

Exhibits Japanese Terracotta Warriors and Horses
National Treasures Destroyed
Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, as one of the eight wonders of the world, have experienced thousands of years of cultural baptism in China. When they were just unearthed, my country attaches great importance to the protection of these cultural relics and cherishes them very much. For the sake of diplomatic relations and international friendship between the two countries, the terracotta warriors and horses were exhibited in Japan during the first diplomatic relations with Japan, more to ease the contradiction between China and Japan. However, as the Japanese side, although security measures were taken in the exhibition hall, it still caused damage to our country’s terracotta warriors, and even the damage was too large, which made it impossible to repair at all. After this, Japan’s response was uncomfortable. Don't sigh.
, as a cultural relic of China at that time, was brought to Japan for the exhibition, which not only embodies China's great power style, but also lays the foundation for friendly exchanges between China and Japan in the future , but Japan’s approach is obviously adding fuel to the fire. You know, the Qin terracotta warriors and horses have gone through thousands of years of precipitation in China, and their quality is incomparable, and the terracotta warriors and horses shipped to Japan each exceed 300 kilograms! Because of its nature is very important to China and Japan, its own value can be described as priceless! After learning this information, the man was also dumbfounded.
Because the terracotta warriors and horses incident also involved friendly exchanges between China and Japan, the Japanese side at that time was also very active and actively cooperated, and it also offered astonishing prices in the face of compensation. After all, it was a mistake made by the Japanese side. What I never expected was that while the Japanese side offered sky-high prices, they also made an unreasonable request , that is: I hope China will keep the terracotta warriors and horses fragments in Japan and not return them.
After the terracotta warriors and horses were exhibited in Japan, the terracotta warriors and horses models produced by the Japanese government
Japan's attitude is chilling
This is obviously a way of buying and selling, and it is impossible to trade China's priceless treasures! The reason given by Japan is that the terracotta warriors and horses have been smashed, and the extent of the brokenness is no longer possible to repair. It is already a waste product and has no value. Therefore, Japan intends to use sky-high compensation, and wants China to "sell" this broken terracotta warrior to Japan.
is just such a thing,The Chinese government, which originally believed that Japan’s attitude was good, immediately lost patience, and rightly responded to the Japanese government: The terracotta warriors and horses are Chinese cultural relics, they are priceless treasures, and , whether intact or broken, belongs to China. Items must be returned to China! Nothing is missing!
Because of the friendly diplomatic relations between China and Japan, my country did not hold the terracotta warriors and horses to pieces by the Japanese, and the Chinese government has made it very clear that we want the terracotta warriors, even if they are broken. It's our thing, and we don't want the sky-high compensation from the Japanese side! As long as you return the terracotta warriors and horses!
Faced with our attitude at the time, the international community expressed appreciation for China's actions and recognized China's tolerance. What we need to know is that at that time, our country was in the development stage of economic transformation, and the country needed a lot of funds for national construction, but our government still said that it would not accept compensation. Even so, our country still asked Japan to finish the exhibition.
This matter has been fermented for a period of time in the last century, because after the end of World War II, the relationship between Japan and China has been in an awkward situation. is mainly because of what Japan did during World War II. for!
Broken Terracotta Warriors
Sino-Japanese Yuanyuan
As we all know, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty were cast as early as two hundred years BC. After thousands of years of storage, they have reappeared today. A very incredible thing. Especially in today's view, items from thousands of years ago were exhibited in Japan, and is also a way for China to communicate with other countries, which is obviously a kind of generosity of China.
As we all know the deadlock in Sino-Japanese relations, is because of the cruel and atrocities committed by Japan against China in the last century! Although it is the eight-year war of resistance against Japan,But Japan's aggression against China can start with the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu. At that time, China was still in the Qing Dynasty, but due to various domestic policies issued by the Qing government, the Qing Dynasty was already in decline. Although the Qing Dynasty had the invincible armored ship at that time, in the face of advanced technology, China's armored ship seemed very weak.
After the Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1894, Japan’s aggressive minions began to be exposed. Japan had already planned for China’s invasion for a long time. The education of militarism in the country has been carried out, which gives the Japanese a deep-rooted thinking about aggression. In fact, the Qing government at the time was still aware of it, not unprepared.
As early as 1874, after the Japanese attacked Taiwan, the Qing government began to take precautions against Japan. But even so, it still had no effect, because the government's corruption at that time could not be changed by just a few people. And , at that time, would rather spend a lot of money to hold a birthday banquet for the empress than spend more money to reform at home. This made Japan, which was eager to move, greedy for China.

Meiji Restoration Japan
Back to Japan at the time, after just passed the Meiji Restoration, not only suffered economic blows, but also politically changed It is chaotic. Moreover, due to the advancement of Western countries, Japan was defeated before it even started fighting, which inspired Japan's yearning for Western technology. Immediately, Japan increased its national construction and its military strength in just a few years. However, such a large-scale reform caused huge economic losses to the domestic economy. What's more, Japan was still invaded at that time, and there was not much economy. Therefore, they planned to use aggression against other countries to enrich themselves.
Because Japan is an island country, economic development and material supply are limited, coupled with the offensive of Western countries, leading to Japan Meiji Emperor came to power, there is a new idea, that is aggression. From a historical point of view, is still plausible, but although aggression can bring development, it will definitely suffer a blow! It is only a matter of time.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out, China, as the defeated party, signed the Shimonoseki Treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country. This is a pain that Chinese people will never forget! It is a history that must be remembered! It was also from this time that Japan began to prepare for the war of aggression against China, but this preparation did not last long, until May 28, 1900, the eight-nation war of aggression against China started, until 1901 At the end of September 7, Japan, as a country invading China, has already forged a deadlock with China!
And on the eve of the war of aggression against China, the Boxer Movement , which is the anti-feudal movement, broke out in Shandong and my country. The invaders also saw this opportunity. After the Boxer Movement broke out in China, they launched a campaign against China. In order to better invade China, Britain, the United States, France and Germany had punished a large number of officials who had failed to suppress it under the nose of the Qing government!
Japan’s Meiji Restoration
Japan’s approach to China
At this point, we should think more about the fact that China, which was weak at the time, was under oppression, but in the age of peace, we had to make peace with them. Getting along, this kind of thing is more unacceptable to each of us. But for the advancement of science and technology, our country has to let go of the previous grievances, because we know that weak countries have no diplomacy , only when we are really strong, other countries will pay attention to it.There won't be another outbreak of the war of aggression against China!
Japan’s atrocities against China are already exhausted! From the outbreak of the September 18th Incident in 1931 to the surrender of Japan in 1945, resistance to Japan lasted for at least 14 years. During the 14 years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, what Japan did in China was truly unforgivable. The first is the July 7th Incident . The July 7th Incident of 1937 marked the beginning of Japan’s full-scale invasion of China and also opened the prelude to my country’s full-scale Anti-Japanese War. The tragic slaughter ! In just 6 weeks, 300,000 Chinese people were slaughtered! How can this be forgiven?
Sino-Japanese relations are constantly breaking down, and the hostile attitude towards Japan has not been reduced, but the resistance to the Japanese imperialist countries has been intensified! In the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, the sound of dripping water will be heard every 12 seconds. This is to explain that every 12 seconds, a person will be brutally killed by the Japanese!
And in the Nanjing Massacre that year, two Japanese officers also killed people in competitions to see who killed more. They were also published in newspapers. This aroused the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people, and it continued to rise. As a result, China's resistance and resistance to the Japanese army increased during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the feeling of killing the enemy and serving the country rose for a while. Although later surrendered and the war ended, it still remained unchanged.
The Death of the Country-Nanjing Massacre
Japanese Acts
Because this is impossible, what they did in China is already an unacceptable fact, so no matter what Whether it is before or after, historical events cannot be changed. What's more difficult to calm is that after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan put the remains of Class A war criminals who participated in World War II into the "Yasukuni Shrine" in order to protect their so-called "heroes" in the battle. Go, . This obviously sheds light on Japan's recognition of the actions of these war criminals.
Here to give you a popular science. In the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan, a total of many torii are set up, but only one place is displayed, which is the Japanese who died before World War II, and the rest of the torii, They are all Japanese soldiers who participated in World War II, and there are plaques of Class A war criminals, which has to make all countries in the world vigilant.
Because these Class A war criminals who participated in World War II committed unforgivable crimes. As a former fascist country, Japan not only did not reflect on it, but directly paid homage to the Yasukuni Shrine, which made the rest of the world even more so. Stay vigilant.
On August 15, 2021, the Prime Minister of Japan paid homage to the Yasukuni Shrine again. This suddenly attracted the attention of countries all over the world, especially China. This visit to the Yasukuni Shrine is something that has never happened since the end of World War II, because in this visit, the former prime minister of Japan also paid a visit, and there were also many Japanese parliamentarians.
You should know that most of the visitors to the Yasukuni Shrine are war criminals from World War II, and there are 14 Japanese Class A war criminals. As a symbol of the Japanese spirit, Japan's public visit to the Yasukuni Shrine is obviously a disregard and disapproval of past history. It is undeniable by everyone in the world, because the harm that Japan has caused to the world, especially to China, is immeasurable!
Yasukuni Shrine
After Japan surrendered, China and Japan established diplomatic relations
Furthermore, on August 15, 1945, it was the day when Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Japan did so. Arrangements with ulterior motives to visit the Yasukuni Shrine on this day are obviously a provocation to all countries in the world. Since the diplomatic relations between China and Japan, Japan has also been constantly running in with China. If it is to develop in a good direction, it will definitely be better to enhance the diplomatic relations and development of the two sides, but Japan has Use your own behavior to continuously challenge China's bottom line.
in 1972,When China and Japan engaged in friendly diplomatic relations, the Chinese government put aside its past prejudices and treated Japanese diplomats to China with excellent treatment in order to achieve Sino-Japanese cooperation and sign the "China-Japan Joint Declaration." In this document, the Chinese government has severely criticized and condemned it. It is a message written in this document. The general meaning is that the Japanese government has caused trouble to China in the past. I apologize here. .
This of course cannot be recognized, because Japan's actions in China at the time were not only a simple trouble, but also caused a lot of harm! It is precisely because of this that China and Japan have been changing the plan of the "China-Japan Joint Statement" many times, and the final result is that Japan amended the sentence to "Japan has passed wars against Japan in the past and gave China The great damage caused by the people, I feel the responsibility and deeply reflect on it.” Until then, it was signed at the meeting on the second day.
, as the foreign envoy of the friendly diplomatic relations between China and Japan Masahiro Ohira , also expresses the fact that Japan invaded China very clearly, and apologizes for the minor mistakes in the friendly diplomatic relations between China and Japan. Not only was the attitude clear, but it was also very cooperative. In order to better achieve Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, Japan at that time could be said to have used a lot of power to finally complete it. However, now, what Japan has done is constantly moving towards the bottom line, and has no intention of regretting it at all. This makes the world's names even more disgusting.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972
Japan's ugly face
Let’s review what Japan did. For the sake of friendship, the terracotta warriors and horses were loaned to Japan, and the Japanese side smashed the terracotta warriors and horses. Denied the exhibition of Chinese cultural relics in Japan. Here we have to understand why this Japanese would say that. It is because, before Japan surrendered, it was influenced by Japanese militarism. Most Japanese believed that Japan’s foreign wars were correct. , They are all helping other countries, which has to make us wonder, Japan’s foreign aggression,Don’t the Japanese know it?
In fact, what they only know is that Japan’s participation in foreign operations has been beautified by the Japanese government and has become Japan’s foreign war. It is a support to other countries, not aggression, and it directly and fundamentally distorted Japan’s foreign aggression. The essence of war!
And some people believe that Japan is helping China, but the Chinese killed the Japanese. It is for these reasons that the Chinese have a deeper hatred of the Japanese, so many Japanese believe that Japan The reason for surrendering was because of China.
The tampering of cultural history, the cover-up of history, and all these signs are all expounding the fact that Japan evaded aggression against China, and Japan has taken a evasive approach to stranding this issue with the implementation of the Nanjing Massacre in China.
The two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Japan not only accelerated Japan's surrender, but also prompted the destruction of the Japanese government at the militarist level. In an accidental interview, Japan raised a question about the American soldier who dropped the atomic bomb. It immediately caught the attention of the people around the world. Is there no trace of guilt in the heart of the atomic bomb he dropped?
And this American soldier's reply to the Japanese reporter resonated with the Chinese. As long as you apologize for the Nanjing Massacre in China, I will apologize to you. Such a sentence directly left Japanese reporters speechless.
In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Japan has chosen to escape and ignore it, even twisting history, and constantly touching the bottom line of the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between China and Japan. made China, which had hoped for Japan, lost patience time and time again.
is after Japan visited the Yasukuni Shrine on August 15,The United States also has a very helpless view on it. As we all know, the frequency of establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States is relatively high, but Japan’s behavior is obviously to add fuel to the fire, and this behavior has aroused the dissatisfaction of the United States. Because in the last century, Japan joined the fascist countries and carried out a sneak attack on the Pearl Harbor of the United States. That's why the United States joined World War II. and Japan’s move directly made all countries participating in World War II vigilant. Of course it also includes the United States.
Although history has passed, every country has not forgotten it. As China, which was invaded by Japan, has not forgotten these historical facts, but has always remembered it, because only in this way can history not repeat its mistakes. Not only that, at the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, Japan treated all participating countries in the world, big and small, differently. , especially when dealing with Chinese players, the accommodation provided by Japan for Chinese players turned out to be very good. The simple hotel , is the kind of accommodation where ordinary tourists stay together. The epidemic prevention measures are not in place at all, which once again caused the Chinese people to be dissatisfied with Japan.
When we turned our attention to the terracotta warriors and horses , in fact, China had established diplomatic relations with many other countries in the world at that time, and the terracotta warriors and horses, as a symbol of friendly exchanges, gradually appeared in the public eye. However, in the diplomacy of various countries, all countries pay great attention to the protection of cultural relics, especially in the transportation process, and they are also very careful. However, Japan's approach can no longer be considered from the individual, but from the perspective of Japan as a whole.
Anti-Japanese heroes on the battlefield
Japan's evasive attitude
Until now, most Japanese people do not know what Japan did in China at that time, even about this history Negative, because Japan did not put this history in Japanese textbooks at all, but continued to mislead the Japanese blindly, but history is history after all. Since would have a Japanese smash the terracotta warriors,There will be other Japanese scorn or even destroy Chinese cultural relics, but the Japanese government evades it with a blind eye.
Compared with China’s response in the past, not only did it not collect the so-called compensation from Japan, but it also took a very firm attitude towards Japan, that is, Chinese cultural relics belong to China, even if they are broken because of you. , And it still belongs to China. It is impossible for our country to give up because it cannot be repaired, let alone “sell” this cultural relic to you because these cultural relics, from beginning to end, do not belong to Japan, let alone the object of trade!
In the face of the past, we will never forget, in the face of history, we will not forget our original intentions! We must cherish the hard-won peace now, and cherish the peace that our ancestors exchanged for their flesh and blood!
